<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n AzhwAr was asked as to why he was saying that there is no one to be attained other than emperumAn. Isn\u2019t rudhra (Siva) appropriate to be attained? AzhwAr says that since rudhra is also the body for emperumAn, he is also protected by emperumAn only, like all the others. rudhra has nothing common with emperumAn, other than being body (rudhra) and soul (emperumAn). All the entities are sustained by emperumAn only. If one looks at the qualities of rudhra, it would be clear that he is being protected and emperumAn is the protector.<\/p>\n Let us enjoy the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n ERRAn puLLUrndhAn eyil eriththAn mArvidandhAn<\/em> ERRAn \u2013 having (the not so famous) bull as vehicle ERRAn<\/strong> \u2013 Sivan is famous for having bull as his vehicle.<\/p>\n puLLUrndhAn<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn has garuda, who is the embodiment of vEdhas, as his vehicle<\/p>\n eyil eriththAn<\/strong> \u2013 Siva had burnt down the towns of his devotees, in order to get the title of having burnt three towns.<\/p>\n mArvidandhAn<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn transformed himself as narasimha (lion head with human body) in order to kill the enemy, iraNiyan (hiraNya kashyap), of his devotee prahlAdha.<\/p>\n nIRRAn<\/strong> \u2013 Sivan would smear ashes all over his body, like a person carrying out atonement for sins committed<\/p>\n nizhal maNi vaNNaththAn <\/strong>\u2013 emperumAn has a cool, comfortable form which will eliminate the anguish of his followers<\/p>\n kURRorupAl mangaiyAn<\/strong> \u2013 Sivan has his consort pArvathi on one half of his body and feels vain because of that.<\/p>\n pU magaLAn<\/strong> \u2013 as said in yajur vEdham 4-4-12 about SrI mahAlakshmi \u201casyESAna jagathO vishNupathnI<\/em>\u201d (she is the leader of the world and consort of vishNu), emperumAn has pirAtti (SrI mahAlakshmi) as his consort<\/p>\n vAr sadaiyAn<\/strong> \u2013 appropriate to the penance that he is carrying out, Sivan has hanging, matted hair.<\/p>\n nIL mudiyAn<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn has long crown, which signifies that he is the lord of all the worlds.<\/p>\n gangaiyAn<\/strong> – \u00a0Sivan bears gangA on his head, in order to purify himself.<\/p>\n nIL kazhalAn<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn has divine feet, which are the source for that gangA.<\/p>\n The meaning conveyed here is that emperumAn, with all the characteristics mentioned above, is the protector for Sivan, with his own set of characteristics as mentioned above.<\/p>\n We shall move on to the 75th<\/sup> pAsuram next.<\/p>\n adiyEn krishNa ramanuja dhAsan<\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Full Series << Previous avathArikai AzhwAr was asked as to why he was saying that there is no one to be attained other than emperumAn.
